I posted back in October about the Tasteful Selections™ recipe contest, and I am proud to share that I was the first prize winner!
They officially announced the winners today on their Facebook page. I’ve known since the weekend and it’s been so hard not sharing with you guys. The only person that’s known is my dear husband, who helped me keep it under wraps.
